Indian cress / Condurul doamnei

Another seed project of mine was last year when I thought I should try out the Indian cress (nasturtium).

And I didn’t regret it, the plants grow fast, bloom the whole summer and give a lot of colour to the garden.

Because the plants became big, I thought it would be nice if they went up on one of the garden’s walls, so I used strings to tie and guide them.

This spring I bought seeds again, but somehow had a hunch that the plants from last year will come back, and so I didn’t use the new seeds, and I was right! Last year’s seeds stayed on or in the ground and plants are growing again and have flowers…

According to the internet this is normal, the nasturtium is an easy plant, which doesn’t require much attention, just a sunny place. And it’s edible also! The big leaves as well as the flowers, I haven’t tried them yet, but I sure will.
